Mervyn King turns on the bankers

Mervyn King, the governor of the Bank of England, yesterday hit back at the UK banking profession and admitted that UK regulators missed an opportunity to clamp down on excessive bonuses and remuneration packages during the depths of recession. As we covered in one of our earlier articles, Mervyn King was most certainly in apologetic mood yesterday and appeared to be attempting to curry favor with the unions.

Despite the fact that a number of union representatives turned their backs on the Mervyn King and walked out of during his speech he was given a far better reception than many had expected. When the governor of the Bank of England turns on the UK banking community then we know that the sector is most certainly public enemy number one. Quite why Mervyn King has taken this particular stance at this particular moment in time is something which is slightly puzzling.

However, the bottom line seems to be that the UK banking arena has been cut adrift more than ever before and historic friends that have defended the sector now appear to be turning against it. Whether the introduction of Mervyn King to the mix will make the UK banking arena think again is something which many people will be considering.
